"Yes." I nodded. I didn't dare deny it.

I was afraid, my body was trembling, and I tried not to show fear.

I felt relieved. It seemed that he wasn't going to torture me today.

I didn't dare move, afraid to wake Cheng Ruojun up. In reality, my neck was stiff and my arms were numb.

I turned my body slightly to the side so that I could look at the ceiling. I didn't want to see Cheng Ruojun's face again.

Xia Ze and Manager Lu appeared in my mind. I don't have anything in this house, I have to plan for myself, even if I have to leave Cheng Ruojun's side in the future, I have the qualifications to do so.

Today was going smoothly, and I need to do something that will make Cheng Ruojun happy. That way, I can ask him for a little something.

I want a chocolate studio, and other than chocolate, I don't know anything else. I hope that one day I can sell my chocolate to the whole world, just like the Cheng Family wine, that way I can leave the Cheng Family. I have the capital, and I want to be treated like how Cheng Ruojun treats me.

As I thought this, I gradually fell asleep. In my dream, I became as outstanding as the Manager Lu, while Cheng Ruojun kneeled at my feet and begged me.

When I opened my eyes again, Cheng Ruojun was no longer by my side.

The sunlight was a little dazzling, I stared at the ceiling and thought carefully about today's plan. Since they wanted me to be a virtuous and generous wife, I would do it.

I decided to invite Tao Man to be his lover. If she was willing to marry Cheng Ruojun, then I would be even happier.

I couldn't help but think back to what I saw in Cheng Ruojun's office. I placed my hand on my chest.

If you want him, I'll give him to you.

I got up to go to the bathroom, but at that moment the bedroom door suddenly opened and Sister Guo's head appeared in the doorway.

She seemed taken aback when she saw me staring at her.

"What's wrong?" Sister Guo has been very honest recently, and now that I have already made up my mind, I really don't want to hold her in my arms anymore.

When Sister Guo heard my question, a trace of hatred flashed past her eyes, but she would only reply respectfully, "Madam, Mr. Cheng asked me to bring you breakfast."

"I know." "Here," I said.

Sister Guo looked at me for a while longer before turning around and leaving. I understood what she was thinking more and more clearly.

I'm going to do something big today.

I rummaged through my handbag hoping to find Tao Man's name card. Luckily, I found it.

I took a deep breath and dialed Tao Man's number. My phone rang three times before it was picked up. Tao Man's slightly cold voice sounded out.

"Hello, Mrs. Cheng." Malice breeds in the depths of my heart, I really want to tear off that fake mask of hers. It was obvious that she was the one who was messing around with Cheng Ruojun in the office previously, who would she show that kind of face to?

"Miss Tao, long time no see." "I'm here today to invite you. I hope you can spare the time to come to my house for dinner."

Tao Man paused for a moment before replying, "You should have invited me earlier. If I had already made an agreement with you, wouldn't I have let you down?"

Tao Man clearly had a narrating tone, but when I heard her words, it sounded like she was reprimanding me.

"Have you got an appointment?" I asked in disappointment.

"Nope." Tao Man replied without hesitation, "I will go."

Holding the phone, I felt like I'd been slapped in the face.

The phone hung up in the next second. Right at this moment, I suddenly heard a knock at the door, I turned my head, unwilling to let Sister Guo see my current expression.

"Just leave your breakfast there." "No," I said.

I didn't hear her answer, but I heard footsteps behind me.

I turned my head and was about to say Sister Guo, when I saw Xia Ze.

He was standing not far behind me, smiling at me. His smile was a little frivolous, making me uneasy.

Isn't it too ambiguous for him to enter my room? If Sister Guo sees the two of us …

As I thought about this, I retreated, but Xia Ze walked a few steps too quickly and immediately hugged me. His embrace was so warm, but I couldn't get lost in it.

I tried to push him away, but he took my face in his hands and kissed me on the lips. I was stunned, and tried to push him away, but he held me tightly by the waist.

Finally, when I was almost out of breath, he released me.

I raised my hand in surprise and anger and tried to slap him in the face, but he grabbed my hand. His hand was cold.

He looked at me, his eyes lingering, but I had the feeling that something else was hidden in his deep eyes.

"I love you." "I heard you on the phone. Why did you ask her?"

I tilted my head and said, "Maybe Cheng Ruojun will be with Tao Man."

"Is that so?" As Xia Ze said this, he cupped my face and gently said, "I'm on your side. If you have any problems in the future, you can leave it to me." His tone was bewitching, "I am a man, I understand what a man is thinking, and you can tell me about Cheng Ruojun."

I was so seduced by him that I could not help but nod my head. Perhaps it was because I had been working alone in this dark world for so long that I was suddenly pleased to have someone on my side.

Xia Ze released me and said, "I won't be back today. I'm going to daddy's place, Sister-in-law." He suddenly said in a serious tone, I immediately understood that the Sister Guo must have returned.

I nodded. "You go."

Xia Ze nodded at me before he started walking out. With my back facing the door, I needed to calm my mind.

My hand pressed against my chest, and then I slowly turned my head. Xia Ze had already left, while Sister Guo was pushing a cart, placing food on it.

I walked to the side of the table and sat down, then calmly said to Sister Guo like she was the hostess, "Cheng Ruojun's colleagues will be coming today, remember to prepare more delicacies."

Sister Guo looked at me. She didn't seem to be used to my words.

"What's wrong?" I asked, smiling. I don't have to be patient with her now, or I don't have to be kind to her anyway.

"Nothing."

"Then go out." I picked up my teacup and sipped my tea.

Sister Guo looked at me as though she wanted to say something.
